1 Overview In order to prepare for the Fit Company Challenge, this training program works on the following - Conditioning Strength Endurance Power Agility/Speed We understand that as a busy professional, you don't have a lot of time to train, and some weeks are busier then others. As such, all of the workouts are designed to take no longer than 45 minutes with warm-up and warm-down and we have given you 4 workouts per week. If you find that there are weeks you can only train 3x, we recommend you take out the cardio day and complete the other 3 workouts for the week.

Rest Day A couple more points: Feel free to switch any of your rest days with one of the workouts, as long as you have a goal to complete 3-4 workouts per week. No access to a gym? That's ok! If you don't have access to a gym, simply replace the gym workout with another home workout or field workout. Rest Days - Make sure to take 2-3 rest days per week and use it as a time to stretch, drink plenty of water, and recover. If you really feel like training on a rest day in addition to the 4 workouts prescribed each week, feel free to add a cardio day. Workouts too difficult? If at any point these workouts are too difficult, then switch over to the intermediate training plan. You'll notice it's very similar to the advanced plan, but the small changes will make the workouts easier. Cardio - We leave this day up to you. If you don't have access to a gym, feel free to use this as another run/walk day with the same goal as the upcoming Saturday. If you are looking for low impact cardio, put your gym membership to use and go to a Spin class, or hop on an elliptical machine and watch TV while getting your heart rate up. Your goal is to complete 30 minutes of moderate intensity cardio exercises. Finally, nutrition is just as important in your training as your fitness. While we don't prescribe any nutritional plans, we do recommend that you use your involvement in the Challenge as a time to evaluate your current nutrition and make sure that it is helping you to meet your goals!
